George Hill coming to Utah

Hill is from Indiana, he loved playing for the hometown Pacers...I'm curious to know if he's happy about this trade?

All the rumors and word from his agent said he is excited and wants to be here. Rumors have also suggested he has been unhappy in Indiana for the last 2 seasons or more and felt unappreciated. But I guess no one knows for sure. We as fans probably wont know for sure until next off season when he is a FA.

“This is a good fit for George,” Neff told The Tribune on Wednesday. “One, George likes it in Utah. Two, George has a close relationship with Gordon Hayward [both are Indianapolis natives]. Three, [Jazz general manager] Dennis Lindsey was largely responsible for bringing George to San Antonio. George has worked with [Jazz coach] Quin Snyder. This is one of the teams George has always wanted to play for.”

Just spoke to G Hill's agent: Although on one year deal, the hope is Hill will be in Utah long term

Hill's agent said they would've looked at Utah next season in free agency regardless. He loves Snyder, has close relationship with Hayward

Agent said Hill wants to go "where he is loved"....didn't always feel appreciated in Indiana with the Pacers

Seems like he's he's pretty happy with it.
 
Jazz got the total worse end of this..
Indiana basically upgraded Teague with Hill becauce yall were stupid enough to give the number 12 pick to a guy who averaged 12 points and 5.9 assist last year. WOW
Atlanta unloaded Teague for a late lottery pick. Only because Utah was dumb enough. I like Hill for the Jazz and think he is a solid player but gave uop way to much for him. The other 2 teams clearly made out better and it isn't even close.

He didn't love playing for them however. Felt like he was never loved by the team.. Yes he is from Indiana so I guess half your post is solid and the other half is garbage.

I agree with the general idea. I like Hill just fine. Would have preferred getting Teague, or getting a pick back from either Indy or Atlanta. Should have been Teague to Indy, Hill and #20 to the Jazz, #12 and Burke to Atlanta.

A 9 for Mack and an 8 for Neto? Are you kidding? And the first trade was a 0. Burke is a bust, Giannis is a star and Adams is very good. And you can't just "null" out trades. Selling a pick or trading out for an even lower future pick represents a missed opportunity. Jazz should be drafting and stashing Euros if they have no roster room, not just throwing a couple million dollars extra into the Millers' pockets.

Gah you're so arrogant. I didn't give the Burke trade a 0 dependent on what we give and what we get. A year of Trey Burke over Jamaal Tinsley warrants a 2 or 3. The fact that Giannis and Adams were on the board when we drafted means nothing because I'm not grading his drafting.

As said above, yeah getting a quality rotation player, one who nearly lifts your team to the playoffs, for dirt cheap is a great trade. Not every great trade is gonna be Durant for pennies.

I can absolutely null out a trade if it's literally just our garbage for your garbage. Why add some trash 2nd rounder for trash 2nd rounder trade to the mix when we're doing a non weighted average? Like legit who gives a **** about the Jamaal Tinsley trade? It was a null. Garbage for garbage.

You can feel free to do your own little grades if you want, but I know your pessimistic *** will give the Gobert and hood trades sevens because we had to give them something in return.

I like the trade. I'm bummed we don't get to add another young lotto talent but this is a smart move by the FO. We have to win now. If we don't make the playoffs, I'd think there's a greater chance Hayward bolts than if we do and maybe win a couple playoff games. It's also insurance for Exum coming off the injury. And of course, it adds depth. Getting him, Exum and Burks, as well as maybe another solid FA, and some 2nd rounders, is adding a lot of legit talent and depth to this team.

Exum (20), Hill (28)
Hood (14), Exum (8), Burks (26)
Hayward (34), Hood (14)
Favors (27), Lyles (21)
Gobert (31), Favors (6), Lyles (4), Withey (7)

Or something like this.
 
I have a growing love with this trade. After a while and you are in the position the Jazz are in, you have to begin to add pieces to help you win now. George does that. Dude can hit a 3, play some D, and is cool with being here. Hard to knock a trade like that when you aren't enamored with the talent in the draft.

I was so freaking excited to get Al. He was the low post scorer Boozer wasn't and he said he was going to defend. Him with Okur...we were freaking set.

Me too.

Knowing our Colorado friend hates the deal makes me like it even more.

Teague is better no matter how you look at it.

Teague is the better player while Hill is better for the Jazz.

IMO Teague is the better pg, but not the better player. Hill is the better player for what the Jazz need. Teague, more then likely would've been a one year rental unless we wanted to commit to him long term with a max and give up on Exum. That wasn't going to happen.
